Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty: Warzone Season 05 Content Drop: Full Details

New Assignment: Burn Run (Launch)

Upgrade your Major and Minor Abilities with new, rare enhancements that can be acquired in the match, further empowering them with advantages including reduced cooldown times, extra ammo, the chance to inflict additional damage types, and other bonuses improving their effectiveness in the field.

Found in item cases, Ability Boosts are mixed in with other reward types and are chosen based on your currently equipped Major and Minor Ability. Though Ability Boosts have a small chance to drop in Zone IV regions, they are primarily found in Nightmare locations. Open your Tac Map and check the rewards list of various Nightmare level Activities and Assignments to discover where you have the best chance of discovering them.

Each Major and Minor Ability has two Exotic Ability boosts to choose from. Once acquired, the Ability Boost will remain until you either wipe or swap out the affected Ability.

Free to Play Throughout S05

Endgame’s free-to-play period is planned to continue through to the conclusion of Season 05, so be sure to jump in with your squad to explore all that Avalon has to offer in this expansive PvE mode. Once Season 06 of Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty: Warzone begins, Endgame will no longer be accessible via the Call of Duty: Warzone menu and will be available only to Black Ops 7 owners.

Black Ops 7: Multiplayer Content

Fight through a rural Japanese town as a festival turns to chaos and the streets erupt in conflict. Battle in the front courtyard of the Palace museum, explore local cuisine in the pop-up Festival, and test your luck in the pachinko room offering low and standard rates. For a more scenic path, traverse the outer Garden running behind residential spaces above street level.

For long-ranged skirmishes, head down the central Main Street running down the length of the map where scattered vehicles provide some cover throughout. For tighter encounters, flank out to the sides where there’s a greater mix of sightlines, giving every playstyle a chance to shine in the celebratory scene.

Frequency (Launch)

Remaster, 6v6, Medium-Sized

First introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Frequency returns fully remastered with greater detail than ever before. Deploy deep into the mountains of Hunan where Operators engage in constant battle over control of the listening station’s global surveillance capabilities.

Take in the sights along the outer platform as you battle down the infamous Catwalk and Pipes sections on the perimeter, or head inside the facility for close-quarters action in the Surveillance room and amongst the Servers. The map opens up in the middle with skirmishes breaking out all around the circular pathway; drop down into the Maintenance area to travel below the path. Whatever your approach, make liberal use of the Wall Jump for new angles of attack while throwing off the enemy’s aim. 

Dig (Launch)

Remaster, 6v6, Small-Sized

The Guild expects nothing less than the absolute best from its pool of Operators, and that begins with training as the company brings a new obstacle course into play. Jump, dive, slide, and more across an all-new Freerun map arriving in the Mid-Season.

Rogue Run: Astra Malorum (Launch)

Eyes up, Operators — the skies of Verdansk have never been more loaded as a brand-new Drone Labs POI arrives east of the TV Station and south of Quarry. Run by Automaton Labs, the facility is ramping up production and unleashing Supply Drones across Verdansk, carrying valuable gear for those who shoot them down and retrieve the goods before the enemy can get there first.

Just north of the facility, Operators will encounter a drone obstacle course featuring a collection of wooden structures and flythrough targets to keep your drone piloting skills in top shape. The area is rife with ambush potential, so keep your head on a swivel or get eyes from above and call out enemy positions to your squad.

Armed JLTV

A rare armed JLTV is secured inside a locked garage located in the Drone Labs. Find a way to retrieve the codes required to unlock the door and gain access to the powerful vehicle.

Heavy Metal Heroes (In-Season)

Drop into Heavy Metal Heroes and gear up for explosive combat in this limited-time mode. Squads can harness heavy vehicle weapon fire to turn the tide, while eliminations reward Operators with powerful buffs like faster movement and weapon handling, ammo and armor regeneration, and other critical upgrades. When you’re not raining down heavy fire from behind the wheel, loot mobility abilities like Flicker, Kinetic Jump, and the Grappling Hook to stay agile. Outmaneuver enemy squads and fight to be the last team standing.

Heavy Metal Heroes gives squads more ways to stay in the fight, with extra respawn tokens and shorter timers for revives and redeploy towers. These rules encourage risk-taking plays that amp up the competition with explosive combat.

Spectre (Battle Pass, JSOC, Launch)

“Spectre” and “Viscera” Skins: Battle Pass Instant Reward Page, Battle Pass Completion Page

Next to nothing is known about the presumed wet works specialist, Spectre. The designation itself is a codename agreed on by the various agencies that have pooled their intelligence on unsolved assassinations, inferring his or her existence based on either evidence found at the scene, or from fragmentary reports given by shaken bystanders.

Despite heavy redaction, all accounts suggest an individual capable of extraordinary stealth, able to evade or neutralize the most sophisticated of manned or automated security setups. In every case, Spectre’s victims have been slain with surgically precise mid-line stab wounds with rarely any signs of struggle.
